YA
Illustrated by
Adrienne Yorinks.
McMullan, a direct descendant of Shannon (the youngest participant in the Corps of Discovery), creates, both from generalized research and access to family records, her ancestor's fictionalized journal. McMullan lets Shannon show his own self-discovery as he matures both physically and intellectually and gains competence as a wilderness man.
